Weekend Giveaway: Artterro

Thought the giveaways were over? Not quite. Today I’ve got a weekend giveaway from new sponsor Arrterro! This is a great company right up Simple Mom readers’ alleys… they create eco-friendly, family-oriented art supplies and kits—beautiful items that’ll help you and your kids create frame-worthy art.

Artterro is the brainchild of Forrest Espinoza and Jennifer Conn, two artists and mothers from Madison, Wisconsin. They started their company because they believe everyone is born creative, and that sometimes the pace of our modern lives keeps us from making time for art. That’s where Artterro comes in.

Their goal is to make it fun, easy and affordable for people to create art with family and friends. Each Artterro eco art kit is a collection of beautiful, natural materials and creative project ideas. They offer a fun, engaging art experience that delights creative kids and grown-ups alike!

Artterro is offering two readers the chance to win a selection of eco art kits worth over $50. Each package includes a Creativity Kit, a Wire & Bead Art Kit and an Art Journal Kit.

The Creativity Kit: Set the creative spirit free with a beautiful assortment of handmade paper, 100% wool felt shapes, glass and wooden beads and more–perfect for making bookmarks, ornaments, gift tags, small sculptures and collages.

Both kits include a bonus project–the box turns into a frame for your finished artwork!

Artterro also teamed up with Strathmore Artist Papers to create the Art Journal Kit, a unique product for budding artists to easily explore their creativity through art journaling. Artists of all ages can learn fun doodling, drawing and collage techniques with inspiring materials. Available in five fun colors.

Encouragement for living simpler, right in your inbox.

We share our stories as we simplify our lives - no guilt-trips, just love:

Oh, how I would love this! My daughter loves crafts and I struggle to find kits that are good quality. I am even more excited because this company was founded right here in Wisconsin! This would make the perfect Christmas gift for my girl!

These art supplies look awesome! One of tThe most wonderful way to spend time with your children is creating something together….and looks like these kits make it extra fun! Love this site, too! Always so positive and upbeat and FUN to read! Thanks!

This is my favorite giveaway this week! My 1 and 4 yr old and I were just painting this morning and I was thinking about how I love giving them art supplies for Christmas because they enjoy creating things so much!

These look totally fun…I used to bring assorted stuff to create with when I babysat & even the ‘non-crafty’ boys would make things. The idea is keeping it non-standard so they make what THEY want to instead of what YOU think looks good!

It’s weird, your post just made me realize, at least at my home in PA, that these women really hit a niche in a market that is already widely explored. It is a clever idea and I would love to see the art journal.

I prefer any activity that challenges my daughter’s creativity. We do a lot of cutting, gluing, drawing and constructing in our home. And I especially love kits – it provides an instant activity when faced with those rainy days that show up even on the sunniest of days.

Wow, those look amazing! My two boys have a short attention span for art projects – probably because I can’t afford to buy kits like these that will inspire them, and keep trying to cut out pieces of construction paper in shapes instead. It works sort of, but not for long… Construction paper just isn’t as inspiring as this stuff. I’m putting this on our family wish list as well!

I can see Noah and Lydia working together at the dining room table… for HOURS… with busy hands and happy hearts as they create gifts to give to the people they love… and this kit would be a great inspiration for finding other fun things about the house/yard to turn into art! Good stuff!

These kits look really wonderful. I like that they aren’t just something cut out and ready to glue together like a lot of craft store items. The kids have to use their imaginations with these and that’s always a great thing!
